AUTUMN HAS COME.

Wear, eat, and play.
Slow-tempo fall menu.

It is no exaggeration to say that the hot summer, with its extreme weather every day, has gradually begun to cool down, and signs of autumn are finally beginning to appear in the streets of Tokyo. As the weather turns hotter and hotter, the autumn fashions, tastes, and events are becoming more and more popular. Summer was fun, and we are sad to leave it behind, but we still want to enjoy the changing of the four seasons in various ways that are uniquely Japanese. The autumn menu at SLOW TEMPO, the flagship store of MELPLE, is linked to this mood. Just like the autumn of reading, the fall of appetite, and the fall of fat, enjoy the three autumn flavors offered by SLOW TEMPO.

#1_Wear Became the signature item of the season,
Slow-tempo style in vintage clothing.

Westwood cardigan by Maple, ¥16,500; Westwood track pants by Maple, ¥16,500; other personal effects of stylist

First, let's start with fashion. The "maple" brand, which offers a wide range of high-quality relaxed wear, is owned by Takehito Onodera, owner of Slow Tempo. The brand is owned by Takehito Onodera, the owner of Slow Tempo. The velour set-up named "Westwood series" has a relaxed and graceful atmosphere with a good amount of stretch and deep velour with a unique sheen. This style has a Californian feel that Mr. Onodera likes, and is a symbolic item of this season.

Black butterfly shell buttons are selected for the cardigan, and the side chapter line on the pants gives a dressy look. It can be worn as a set-up or as top and bottom separates with other items, and is recommended as the star of this fall/winter season.

Merced wool vest by "Maple" ¥20,900, flannel shirt by "Salvage Public" ¥22,000, vintage "Levi's®" 505 denim pants ¥11,000, other personal effects of stylist

Slow Tempo" also offers a lineup of used clothing on an irregular basis. One of the features of this shop is that it releases carefully selected items at affordable prices in the face of the vintage clothing boom in Japan.

This time, we chose a Marced Wool Vest from "Maple," which is made of an airy wool pile fabric, and a flannel shirt from "Salvage Public," a brand from Honolulu, Hawaii, with vintage black denim as the core. A flannel shirt from Salvage Public, a brand from Honolulu, Hawaii, was chosen. The combination of different brands and second-hand clothes, and the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere typical of "Slow Tempo," is a style that will last forever.

The wool pile series, which Maple continues to sell, now includes for the first time a vest that can be worn in a wide range of ways. Using a rare circular knitting machine, of which there are only three in Japan, we promise that once you experience the airy and fluffy wool pile, you will become addicted to its comfort.

Flower Embroidery T-shirt by "Slow Tempo" ¥6,820

One of the styles of "Slow Tempo" is to not just sell used clothing as is.

This remade item is based on a vintage U.S. Army training T-shirt. Since the length of the item differs greatly even if the same size is indicated depending on the year of manufacture and the individual item, the hem is cut and stitched differently for each size. The "ARMY" text is embroidered with a peaceful flower, daring to put a message of peace on a military garment.

The embroidered flowers on the ARMY prints reflect the concept that when "Slow Tempo" is open, a single flower will be displayed in the storefront.
